This circle happens every Friday that weather permits us. Bring a blanket and any thing else you might want for some outdoor playtime at the park. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Upcoming Programs:
Our Chickadees Program is designed for our youngest children, ages 0 to 18 months, and their caregivers. This class offers a gentle introduction to rhythm, exploration of the natural world, and heartfelt community. Here we create a soft and supportive space for our babies and for the adults who care for them.
In this early season of life, so much is unfolding beneath the surface. Our Chickadees class honors the pace of infancy and early toddlerhood, offering a calm and nurturing environment where babies can observe, explore, and begin to experience the world alongside their caregivers.
These gatherings are structured as a weekly class, meeting for one hour. Each session is intentionally capped at 16 children maximum to preserve a sense of intimacy, ease, and connection among families.
Welcoming families from across the Boulder Valley, the Chickadees Program is guided by Wildhood’s founder and lead teacher, Kayla Hash. With a warm and attentive presence, she creates an environment where both babies and caregivers feel supported, connected, and at ease.
Our time together follows a simple and consistent flow, rooted in seasonal rhythms and gentle sensory experiences. Gatherings typically include:
– Circle time with simple songs, fingerplays, and movement
– Rhymes and connection games between caregiver and child
– Sensory-rich, open-ended exploration of our natural surroundings
– Time outdoors, as weather allows
– Spacious time for connection and play
At this stage, babies are developing a sense of safety, trust, and belonging. The Chickadees class centers the caregiver-child bond, offering opportunities for closeness, attunement, and shared experience in a peaceful and welcoming environment.
Caregivers remain an active and essential part of the experience throughout. In the spirit of our family-first approach, siblings are always welcome. We believe in supporting families being together and embracing the presence of each child.
We welcome our families in the Chickadees Program into the broader Wildhood School community, gathering throughout the year for seasonal celebrations and shared outings.
Our Sparrows Program is designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years and their caregivers. This class builds upon the foundation of our Chickadees program, offering a rhythm that supports both growing autonomy and continued connection for young children stepping into early independence. For those beginning to reach, explore, and engage more fully with the world around them.
Our fall session is a 12 week cohort, meeting once weekly for 1.5 hours beginning mid-September. Space is limited to keep an intimate container with a maximum of 16 students. Drop in spaces will be available as capacity allows.
Our time together follows a simple, consistent flow, rooted in seasonal rhythms and connection to the natural world.
Gatherings typically include:
– Circle time with song + movement
– Storytelling
– Open-ended art experiences often incorporating natural materials
– Nature walks and outdoor exploration
– Spacious time for free play and connection
At this stage, children are alive with curiosity, movement, and imagination. Our Sparrows class offers space for them to explore with increasing confidence, while still returning to the security of a familiar rhythm and the presence of a trusted caregiver.
Caregivers remain an active and essential part of their child’s experience, while also being gently supported in allowing their children moments of independence within a safe and nurturing environment. In the spirit of our family-first approach, younger siblings are always welcome to attend with caregivers. We honor the natural rhythm of family life and hold space for the children within it.
Families in our Sparrows Class are welcomed into the broader Wildhood School community, which gathers for seasonal celebrations and shared outings throughout the year.
Our Magpies program is Wildhood’s offering for our eldest children. Designed for children ages 3 to 5, this class builds upon the foundation of earlier programs, offering a more independent experience while still held within a warm, relational environment. At this age, our children feel more confident in moving their bodies, rich in imagination, and ready to explore the world with growing enthusiasm and curiosity. Here we give them an expansive environment and inspiring structure to engage in.
Our fall session is a 12 week cohort, meeting once weekly for 2 hours beginning in mid-September. Space is limited to keep an intimate container with a maximum of 16 students. Drop in spaces will be available as capacity allows.
Our days follow a gentle, predictable flow, rooted in seasonal rhythms and the natural world.
Gatherings may include:

– Storytelling inspired by the seasons, imagination, core values and the natural world
– Open-ended art and creative expression
– Nature exploration and longer outdoor free play
– Cooperative games and imaginative play
– Opportunities for practical, hands-on activities
– Spacious time for social connection
At this stage, children are expanding into imaginative worlds, forming deeper friendships, and beginning to navigate group dynamics. The Magpies Program offers space for this unfolding, where children can take initiative, express themselves freely, and build confidence within a consistent and nurturing rhythm. While this program is designed for greater independence, connection remains at the heart of the experience. Children are supported in developing a sense of belonging—to the group, to the land, and to themselves.
Caregivers remain an active and essential part of their child’s experience, while also being supported in creating a wide breadth for independence within a safe and nurturing environment. In the spirit of our family-first approach, younger siblings are always welcome to attend with caregivers. We honor the natural rhythm of family life and hold space for the children within it.
